Every time I come here it's like I've taken off and landed back in Korea, the homely feel of the restaurant is just like it would be back in Korea, the ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and homely. The 800 sqft restaurant backs a punch from the food to the decor you would find at mom and pop restaurants back in Korea. The restaurant owner is an amazing and sweet lady, she lives and breathes Seoul Garden, with her day starting at 630 to look for the freshest ingredient (without any msg added might I add), to well after the restaurant closed to make sure everything is ready for the next day. Working Monday to Sunday every week before open to well after close. Every time I am in South Bend I make my way to Seoul Garden just so I can experience how amazing Korean culture is and how caring the owner and staff are. She makes her kimchi fresh everyday and it is amazing, it comes with ever dish because it is a traditional part of side dishes for meals, nowhere is even comparable to the fresh kimchi that she makes. If I could buy an entire jar of her kimchi I would. If you are looking for an authentic Korean & Japanese restaurant to either engross yourself in the countries culture for the first time, or to simply relive moments you've experienced prior. Seoul Garden is the place to go. 행복과 성장을 기원합니다
The food was enjoyable, and we visited during a quiet period, so the service was satisfactory. While the Korean barbecue was delicious, it was a bit inconvenient that you had to order two entrees to use the grill, making it quite expensive. This was different from other Korean BBQ places I've been to. Apart from that, everything else, including the food, atmosphere, and service, was decent, nothing exceptional, just decent.
I come here after class a lot to wind down and have a good meal. the ambience is very nice and the food gives a sense of a home cooked meal. the owner also reminds me of my mother a lot and the meals are very comforting. My family immigrated from Pakistan and the meals here remind me a lot of the food I would eat growing up, so if you're looking for an authentic meal from another culture this is definitely a good spot! Prices are also reasonable and food does not take long to come out. Vegetarian options: There's a lot of veggie heavy dishes that are very delicious.
We absolutely love this restaurant. Everytime we go the owner remembers us and our orders and she is just absolutely pleasant. I love that there is always a variety in the banchan. We would highly recommend Seoul Garden.
너무 맛있는 곳입니다. (한국에 돌아와서 연락을 계속 시도해봤는데 연락이 안돼서 댓글 남깁니다,,!)
